'20 GA ATH Arik Gilbert (LSU commit)

Why would a WR not go where his star QB is going?

I agree. You know he would be a frequent target.

thanks for posting that quote.

i still think UGA is going to be super hard to beat out. the longer it goes, the better as far as i'm concerned.

the only thing I worry about UGA is them dismissing their #1 WR going into the season, so they can give him a shot at WR.

a bad news/good news situation lol.

honestly, i don't think that factors in all that much, given how much of a lean to UGA he's been since the beginning. and if they really do like him at TE, well, he has a quicker path to the field there than he does at WR, no matter what. UGA isn't hurting for talent at WR. they just got younger that's all.

Will this drag out to signing day?

I heard he's targeting a decision before the SZN starts. Which i think helps us with Bailey in his ear for a month with no coaches

coaches and prospects can still talk, tweet, facebook, text etc...just no visits. recruiting will still happen.

UGa coaches told Gilbert that they dismissed their #1 WR so he could be the #1 WR. #SLAWDAWGS

#1 Believed you were serious bc UGA

#2 eye roll that they were that ridiculous (if it had happened.)

Didn’t mean it as a slight toward you. Sorry if it came across that way.

 

[kemotoe]

I’m under the impression it’s UGA till it ain’t.

In other words, you will be on the chopping block in two years when we are recruiting the next A.J. Green.

You sir, are correct.

It is the time most coaches take their vacation

He could legit be a WR

 

[thehutch40]

That video is why he should be a TE...his skills and frame scream "1st round." I don't see any LB or nickelback being able to defend against him. Now if he can get to around a 4.5-4.6 speed...WR may be a legit option but so far I haven't seen anything regarding that type of speed. Where ever he decides to go...one team will get a great player.

Ain’t to many 6-5 guys in the secondary. He’ll be hard to defend in either position.

True...but if you run a 4.8 (as per 247) most 6 foot DBs can keep you contained enough to limit his effectiveness. Redzone however...dude is a mismatch all day.

In the NFL game TE are being used all over the field. There is a huge difference in pay which is why Gronk tried to argue he was a WR instead of a TE. It might be wise for Gilbert to establish the narrative he is a primary WR that can shift inside for matchup purposes.

Jimmy Graham did the same thing.

Odd, that’s the same “51-49%” lingo our insider used. OMG, Simonton is our insider!

Yeah when I saw Gilbert mentioning the idea of playing WR...this contract argument immediately came to mind.
